time may take us far away
but i promise in my memories you'll always stay

my time with you is engraved on my heart
from now until new beginnings start

you will leave and i'll remain behind
carrying on with your dedication in mind

the paint on your clothes will never wash out
reminding you what this all was about

energy and love
performing, inspiring, and all the above

so in a note to my seniors, if you ever get stuck
remember i love you, goodbye and good luck

now or later

everything now is now later
my plans are dreams
that are years or months ahead
and they're closer than they seem.

when does it all become today?
do i really start to live then too?
we see it happen all the time,
but never does it happen to you.

i feel like im drifting
and the water moves beneath me
with the current trying to drag me in;
the constant moving of the sea.

i think i know what i want
and i think it will somehow turn out right
with hope and wonder fueling
the ever-flickering light.

everything now is now later
my plans are dreams
that are days or hours ahead
and they're closer than they seem.

imagination

there once was a girl who lived in her head
she imagined new worlds when she laid down in bed
the girl had more friends, more people she could be
a place safe in her head that only she could see

as she grew up the worlds became less
and her life all around her felt like a mess
but she was grounded by her thoughts in the clouds
the noise of her problems were never too loud

but then the day came when her friends disappeared
reality struck and her imagination cleared
life tore her worlds down and they ceased to exist
so she created her own with the parts that life missed

i fly

high altitude
clouds beneath
surrounded by sky
i fly

a to b
sea to sea
la to dubai
i fly

countries to visit
cities to see
before i die
i fly

outside beyond glass
a map to my birds eye view
i am flying

is it?

I've picked a face and made up the rest
I talk about you
like you've painted the night sky
when you've done nothing at all

you've stolen a part of me
and not given it back
without knowing
you'd taken it at all

the lines get blurred
when I spend my time thinking of you
and when I see you
it's not you at all

star

When I was young I chose a star
One with the brightest of shine
I’d keep it in my reach forever,
Proud to call it mine

But now as I grow older
The star dims upon each defeat
It’s shoots up and down;
Tediously on repeat

I’d always known I could reach it
No matter what endeavors I faced
But now I feel my arm cannot take it
No matter what angle it’s placed!

I know it may take years of trying;
Pulling one from the vast sky of blue
Denying that I’ve a chance of failing
That all my dreams would not come true

the other side

You’ve only ever came to me in my dreams
I’ve created who you are through my imagination
You’re perfect in my eyes;
A loving creation

But when one steps into reality,
They’ll notice you’re on the other side
You’ll never cross over;
You’re a slave to your pride

You won’t let your status fumble
Embrace the popularity, leadership; it all
Disregard the other side
And let the bridge between them fall

After all this time I’d spent gaining courage to cross
Or waiting for you to meet me half way
My chances are slowly fading
With the light of each new day

And so I’ll stay and wait and watch over you
Heavy hearted and hurt inside
Desparate that someday soon you’ll come and build up the bridge
And coexist with the other side
